Dare to be who you truly are

Dare to be you. 
Authentically. 
Unapologetically. 

Dare to follow your way. Your calling. Your heart. 
The pull of the wild. The silence of the truth within you. 

Dare to listen to your intuition. To follow your inner knowing. To let that inner impulse lead you to what you’re here to do. 

Dare to be disliked, disregarded, disapproved of. But true to yourself. 
Dare to be criticised, ostracised, excluded. But belonging with yourself. 
Dare to let people have their experience of you. And love them in that. 

Dare to be you. 
Dare to choose what feels good to you. 
Dare to live on your terms. 
Dare to step into your greatness and the truth of your being. 

Dare to lead and inspire, starting with yourself. 
Dare to love, beginning with yourself. 

Dare to follow your own way. Pave new paths. Explore new ground. 
Dare to venture into the unknown. The unfamiliar. And let it lead you home. 

Dare to live with a full heart and an open mind. 
Dare to trust in the goodness of your heart. 
Dare to risk people roll their eyes at you. 
Dare to be ignored, criticised, dismissed, attacked.
Dare to see it’s not at all about you. 
Dare to fail.  
And stay deeply attuned with what feels true and alive for you. 

Dare to love in the face of rejection. 
Dare to trust in the fear and doubt. 
Dare to hear what you most fear. 
Dare to love the hurt it creates. 
Dare to let your heart break open to all the love that you are. 

Dare to know that it’s all a story. 
And you–the storyteller, hero and story itself. 
Dare to speak your truth and your story. 

Dare to come from the love, truth and conviction at the core of your heart.
